Where's my childhood sweetheart?

Although it seems to have stayed in Ayou's consciousness for a long time, the time in the external reality has not passed for a long time. Soon, everyone who was thrown out by Liudaokuo woke up.

Except for Kushina Anna who was caught by Yosano Akiko, the others got up from the cold ground and looked at Ayu who had her eyes closed in Natsume Soseki's arms and fell into deep thought.

They were thrown out of consciousness by the other party when Liu Dao Mu asked the white-haired boy, and the other party obviously didn't want them to find out any more.

"What did you see?"

Seeing that just after coming out, little Anna, who threw herself into the arms of Shishu Duo Liang, shed tears silently, and Yosano Akiko's complexion instantly became heavy.

Although it was only a short time together, she could feel that the child Anna Kushina had a strong character.

To make her so sad...

"you……"

Yosano Akiko looked at the dull atmosphere and felt a little bad.

Don't fail! ! !

"fine."

It was Edogawa Ranpo who answered her, his face was rarely expressionless, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of daze.

"If according to a certain result, it is a success."

When he said this, it was obviously a successful news, but his always shining blue eyes dimmed at this moment, he lowered his head, and the fine black hair covered the emotion in his eyes.

"But……"

His voice became hoarse as if he was enduring some unbearable emotion.

"But……"

It was rare that his words, which had always been free-flowing, seemed to have lost their power at this moment. They piled up in one place, crowding and blocking his voice.

What Edogawa Ranpo thinks more about is actually Ayou's star-studded memories.

Just because he is Edogawa Ranpo, he can feel more things in it.

Everything there is an interpretation of how time destroys a person and how it pushes a person into the abyss of despair.

He can even deduce the whole story from the plain, difficult or magnificent scenes, how this story adds to her burden, and how bit by bit, it oppresses a person's spirit.

He knew exactly what that system used to get her through so many worlds.

How could it be ordinary and daily at first, then gradually deepened, using fetters, intolerance, responsibility, and all possibilities to make her unable to let go.

Because human beings are always bound by emotions.

He should be glad.

What Edogawa Rampo met was the one who could lend a helping hand to strangers, who was not stingy with his tenderness, and always embraced his existence.

however……

Why is it so uncomfortable?

In that consciousness, he could forcefully calm down and think about various things, but once he left, a strange feeling continued to spread in his heart, as if he had been paralyzed, but the sound of his heartbeat never stopped.

It was as if an invisible hand had wrapped it, and it was even gradually tightening.It doesn't hurt, but out of thin air it makes people feel that breathing is even more difficult.

Edogawa ran involuntarily and grabbed the clothes at his heart. He only felt that the uncomfortable feeling began to spread upward from his heart, and it came to his face in just a second.

It was as if the muscles on his face had become stiff, so he clenched his teeth involuntarily, a sour feeling rose from the tip of his nose, and the eye sockets seemed to have agreed with it, and something quickly blurred his vision.

"... Random steps?"

Yosano Akiko's worried voice came from beside his ear, but Edogawa Ranpo could only bite his lip, trying hard to stop his disobedient eye sockets.

"I'm fine..."

He has grown up so he won't cry like he used to.

He is...but he still has to take care of the shopkeeper, even...even if she doesn't really need it, but he...

but he……

He is still...

In comparison, the Central Plains not far away is much more direct, and now a big hole has appeared on the flat ground under his feet because of his strength.

In the blue eyes like the sea, huge waves blew into the sky.

"hateful!"

His voice was fast and deep, his fists were clenched tightly, and a red light flickered on his body.

"That guy! That guy!!!"

For Nakahara Chuya, although those memories make people feel hopeless involuntarily, he has always been able to distinguish the seriousness from the seriousness.

For them, this operation is "rescue Ayu". Anna Kushina explained the whole story when she acted.

If the seal is not broken, then stop Ayou from choosing to break the seal, if she doesn't choose to remember those, then take her out.

Among them, the most important thing is that she didn't think of those.

He didn't want to see her as in those memories, struggling but desperate, so sad that people couldn't even say anything.

Much better now.

Zhong Yuanzhong also said to himself silently.

Although she has also been seeking death, she is smiling now.

She can still smile, and she can also be happy, angry, sad and happy like an ordinary person.

That's enough.

He thought... It was hard for him to say no again.

After witnessing all that happened, who could say no to her?

The demise of the soul or the annihilation of emotions, which one is more desperate?

Now, everything seems to have the answer.

Among the heavy anomalies, only one person showed an attitude that was completely different from their silence or rage.

Osamu Dazai just stood up after waking up, but his expression didn't change much, and he even stretched slowly.

"Speaking of which, what we saw must be kept secret."

"Secret?"

Nakahara also frowned and looked at Osamu Dazai.

Didn't tell the parties after reading it?

"Otherwise? What do you want to say?"

Osamu Dazai put down his hands, and looked at Chuya Nakahara with deep obscurity.

"Oh, I accidentally read your memory, what a poor child, I won't stop it next time."

As he spoke, he sneered.

"Is this a handout? Does she need a handout?"

"You're stealing concepts."

Nakahara also disagreed with Osamu Dazai's statement.

"Not a poor handout."

It's better to say... In fact, I have an understanding.

——The deepest understanding.

"Then to put it another way, so many people know about those things."

Osamu Dazai pointed to the few people around who had entered together.

"That's what I want..."

His words paused, as if he was thinking of something to describe.

"Hmm... public execution?"

Osamu Dazai looked at the crowd with a smile on his face.

"Think about what Ayou told that person, she doesn't want to be known at all."

He tilted his head, looking surprised that you are such a person.

"Are you still rushing to expose other people's wounds?"

"Do you think she really doesn't care if she doesn't show it?"

The continuous questioning made Zhongyuan Zhongya dumbfounded, and he was always able to make him more cautious when it came to the question about Ayou.

"I agree with Dazai."

It was Edogawa Ranpo who had finally managed to control his emotions who was speaking, he raised his head again, and his voice was no longer so abnormal.

"Because the small shopkeeper doesn't care, it's best not to say anything."

Edogawa Ranpo is very clear. If according to the thinking of "ordinary people", his tragic past is seen clearly without knowing it, then facing the "guilty" and the people he admits, Emotions are definitely not peaceful.

Shock, anger, questioning, fear, etc. are absolutely indispensable.

In the early years, when he didn't meet Ayu and Fukuzawa Yukichi, he felt extremely deeply on this point.

People are always afraid of their unknown past being known by others.

But it is precisely because the small shopkeeper will not have these emotions, so...

"I'd rather she cared more, but at most she'd be surprised and beg not to tell anyone else."

It was obvious that his privacy had been snooped on, but he couldn't even generate anger.

It would be too sad.

Zhongyuan Zhong has always been smart, he just changed his mind slightly, and soon understood Edogawa's unfinished words. He stared at Ayou for a long time, and then nodded silently.

In the end, everyone's eyes turned to Anna Kushina and Tokuta Tara, and Tokuta Tara nodded in confirmation. Even Anna Kushina, who was touching and crying, nodded silently while touching the corner of her skirt.

"Then it's over~"

Dazai Osamu waved his hands and made a relaxed look, but Edogawa Ranpo spoke ruthlessly.

"So you should go back to command and find someone."

"Hey? Why did you have to work so hard to find someone when you finally came out?"

Osamu Dazai expressed dissatisfaction.

"It's the best choice to stay by Ayou's side afterwards so that she can see me when she wakes up."

"choose?"

Ayou couldn't see him when he woke up, how could he leave you here as a Dazai?

Zhong Yuanzhong also felt that he wanted to be slaughtered.

"You want Ayou to be bound to that perverted lolicon?"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

"I have to say, little boy, you can always grasp a strange point like a primary school student."

"Huh? I'm strange? It's you who are strange!"

Even if Ayou wanted to die, she couldn't die with that perverted lolita!

"However, what you said, Chuya, is indeed rare and agreeable."

Osamu Dazai sighed, his face became a little serious.

"After all, I'm going to die with Ayou, so it's really uncomfortable for her to be bound to Mr. Mori."

With that said, he blinked.

"So Chuya, go and kill Mr. Mori."

The kite-colored eyes clearly had slightly curved arcs, but there was no smile in them at all. Osamu Dazai just stared at Chuya Nakahara, and said terrible words.

"Anyway, Chuya, you've long been annoyed by Mr. Mori's lolicon, right? Every time I think about how to abduct Ayou, don't tell me I didn't see that he has recovered his memory now."

As he spoke, he tilted his head with a bewitching tone in his voice.

"Just take advantage of this opportunity to kill him, maybe you can still come to the Armed Detective Agency to 'work'?"

Chuya Nakahara looked at Osamu Dazai with a strange expression, as if looking at another mentally ill person who lost his mind.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

If he could do it, he would have done it long ago, otherwise it would be your turn to spit bubbles here, a mackerel?
